#david just goes around saving tiny mystical creatures

[snexy-the-snail]

What about a previous idea you mentioned a while ago? Tiny Mermaids being sold, and taken horrible care of- creatures like borrowers or fairies or mermaids being seen more as pets than people- And David notices a little fishy Max, and HAS to get that child out of there! David won’t have been able to explain anything first, and won’t until he gets to a safe enough place, then he has to try and calm down a squirming scared little mer-kid inside his belly -ducky

Holy shit I totally forgot about that one! Thanks Ducky

David was admittedly lonely, so what did his broke college self do? He went to the pet shop cause there was bound to be something there he could afford.

Maybe he would get a fish or a nice cat, something that didnt need to much care but enough to make him feel useful.

He chews on the inside part of his lip as he pushes open the door, a soft ding echoing through the shop. He nervously taps his water bottle swinging at his side and waves at the owner before ducking into a row of cages.

"Arent you cute." He says with a small smile, glancing over an excited little puppy. He was waaay to much money but it didnt stop him from being so cute!

He grins happily to himself and heads down the rows some more, pleased to see he had reached the bowls of fish. There were all types of fish in a variety of beautiful colors but they were all so expensive.

He bites his lip and turns to the next row, pausing when he saw a beta fish that was much more than anything he had seen today which was very strange since beta fish weren't exactly expensive fish.

"And why are you so much more?" David asks curiously to himself reading the little greeting card. He was surprised to see that it wasnt just a beta fish, but a merkind, well merkid if you wanted to be technical.

"I dont think they got you legally." He whispers looking around to see if anyone was looking before reaching into the bowl, trying to see where the poor thing was hiding.

Max was done with people tapping ag his bowl to see what he looked like. He wasnt a fucking pet, he didnt need to bed to their every fricken will.

He didnt bother coming out when he heard someone whispering. Maybe he would be a gift or something, either way he was going to raise hell the second he could. The person didnt move on and in fact had the nerve to put their hand in his living space.

"Oh you fucker." He hisses out swimming out of his hidey hole. He was prepared to give the asshole a piece of his mind, he was not however prepared for gentle fingers to pluck him straight out of the water.

"What the fuck?!" He squeaks. He did not like being in open air, hell he didnt like being in the air in general, this was some class A bullshit right here. He desperately tries wrapping his tail inbetween the human's fingers.

"Sorry, this is really sudden, but I promise you it's going to be alright."

The human whispers. What was he going to do? Fricken still him and with what, he saw no cup. He growls and grips the human's fingers tightly with a scowl.

"What's going to be alright? What the fuck are you even going to do?" He hisses back. He wasnt liking where this was going at all. The human kept looking around nervously and licking his lips as if they were constantly getting dried out.

"There's really now time to explain, but I promsie you're going to be safe."

Max wasnt liking that weak smile or how the human kept reassuring him that it would be fine. He scowls and stares the human down.

"What do you mean by that?"

The merkid asks, his eyes narrowed in distrusted. David supposed that was fair with what was going to happen. He laughs nervously and decides to just go for it. What was the worst thing that could happen, upset stomach?

He opens his mouth wide and raises the kid above it, not to far up just to avoid him missing and seriously injuring the kid.

"What thE FUCK!?"

He hears the kid hiss out in panic, his smooth tail clinging on tighter to his fingers. He grimaces slightly and carefully peels him off, allowing the kid to drop inside his mouth.

The merkid was a lot colder than expected, and yes did have that distinct fishy taste. He ignores the various insults and cusses coming from the kid and closes his mouth after carefully holding the kid in place. He didnt want to accidently hurt the little thing.

He tilts his head forward and sighs in relief through his nose, alright he got this, he just had to act cool, like there wasn't a tiny half fish squirming in his mouth.

He shudders and squares his shoulder, about to take a step when the merkid violently launched himself forward.

Max was sure if he caused a fuss the human would let him out, after all what sick bastard ate little fish kids? He smirks when he hears and feels a gag.

"That what you-"

He yelps when he was cut off the tongue pushing him backwards like it was on auto pilot, his stomach dropping when a swallow pulled him down, sealing the deal.

"Fuck!" He hisses out, squirming all the way down. He felt utter powerless as powerful muscles pulled him down rhythmically with practice ease. He wasnt even a challenge which scared him even more.

The area had no water in it at all, which at this point he desperately wanted, a tail was pretty heavy to support with no liquid. At least it was wet and squishy and nothing was burning.

That didnt stop him from flailing around as much as he possibly could. He was terrified and wanted out dammit. He didnt want to go like this, he wanted a badass ending.

The human was moving around which gave him hope until water started splashing on top of him. Yes he knew he wanted water but not in a fucking stomach.

"I want out!" He yells failing around as the human chugged more water. By the time the asshole was done he had a decent ammout of water, granted not enough to swim in, but enough to keep his tail slightly a float.

He didnt care what was happening in the outside world, right now his main goal was to get out of this deadly place. "Let me out you fuck head!"

He was running out of curses to throw at the human, he either had to die soon or get the human to cough him up. Neither was happening anytime soon.

"I'm sorry! But I swear you're safe!"

Max wanted to hit the person and skin him alive. Did the human think he was that fucking stupid? He may be a kid but he wasnt a fucking dumbass.

"It's a goddamn stomach what about it is safe!?" He shrieks, continuing his flailing. He was sure he would at the least give the stupid human a stomach ache.

"I can't digest living things!"

David blurts desperately. Yes the recuse mission was a success but this aching was going to kill him tomorrow. He bites his lip as he opens his car and gets in, grabbing a few bottles from the ground.

"W..what?"

Now the kid just sounded defeated and confused, he felt horrible. The poor thing probably thought he was going to die the whole time.

"I can't digest living things..i kinda go around to pet shops and um..well tuck merkind, fae, and um other small people hybrids like that." He says sheepishly uncapping a bottle. He grimaces at how incredibly full he was going to feel after this.

"So..i really am safe?"

David found himself nodding and flushes when he realized the kid couldn't see him. Sometimes he really was an idiot.

"I swear you are." He promising, putting the bottle to his lips and takign a deep breath before chugging it as well. He grimaces slightly at the feeling but knew the kid was probably thankful for it

"Is that enough water?" He asks somewhat hopefully. He felt like a balloon sloshing around, it wouldn't last long that was for sure but it would be nice for the kid.

"Yeah..it's good." He hears the merkid call back, hesitantly moving around, less sporadically this time, which David would be forever greatful for.

"I'm Max..thank for...um saving me I guess?" Despite the constant cursing Max was pretty cute. David grins slightly and buckles up, starting the car in a fluid motion.

"You're very welcome, i hope we can be friends later on." He says turning onto the road, grimacing slightly at the sloshing in his stomach. That was going to made him sick after a while.

"..yeah..I'd like that."

Maybe this could work out dispite their rocky start. David grins to himself as he drives home with yet another mythical creature he saved.
